Shadow Program
The Alumni Shadow Program
First-year students meet with an alumnus/a in January of the first year during winter break. The student will visit the graduate’s workplace, discuss his/her career path and current practice, and shadow the alumnus/a during a typical workday.
To the extent possible, each student will be matched with an alumnus/a in the geographic and practice area of the student’s choosing.
The Shadow Program’s benefits are many:
- Students explore career options, freed of the constraints of academic credit or paid employment.
- Students practice their interpersonal skills and become acquainted with the legal workplace before formal interviews with other employers later in the semester.
- Alumni provide advice and potential networking opportunities.
Application materials are emailed to 1L students in November of each year.
